CHANCES ENOUGH AND ENOUGH FIGHTING

CHANCES ENOU ~ AND ENOUGH FIGHIING
The full significance Of the result OF the
election in Kentucky does not appear even
with the statement that the Democratic plural
ity is the smallest ever known upon the largest
vote ever cast The figures show
that this is not an isolated or eccentric result,
but that the Democratic majority has been
steadily dropping for four years back. The
record is as follows:
1888 Governor. Majority 4i,43i
...President.. PLURALITY 54'e1o
1885,. Consressmcn. PLURALITY 2o44o
1887 Plurality l7,ol5
In tho last four years, therefore, the plural
ity of the State that gave Tilden lead Of
81, 900 over Hayes, and Hancock nearly
IA, 900 over Garfield, is only half Of that OF
Cleveland three years ago; with this lmpor-
tant item also to be considered that so lar from
the general apathy Of the voters causing the
Democratic losses, as all the Democratic
papers have maintained, the canvass was Bit
ter and the vote unprecedented. Inc
Louisville Commercial goes 50 far as to de-
clare that Louisville itself can be carried by
the Republicans at the next election, the DEM
ocratio majority having been less than 1000,
and tho Republicans having lost about tho
same number Of negro votes through failure
to vote and other causes. 1t is asserted that
there was considerable dissatisfaction among
the blacks throughout the State because they
were not represented on the State ticket, and
that had it not been for this Mr. Bradley
would have increased his gain OF 5000 over
the Republican vote Of 1854. The Kentucky
Republicans have indeed, fighting chance
now let them look out for the fighting, and
the chances will take care of themselves.

the fortunes of this movement are capable Of
taking long look ahead.
All this emphasizes our assertion THAI IL
won't do to confound George and his land
theories with this Labor party and its purposes.
1t Is before the public to effect pracucal
Improvement in the condition Of the laboring
people, and to that extent its claims deserve
consideration OF course if it be burdened
with Socialistic nonsense, no matter no"
skilfully concealed, it must die its inevitaoie
death. Some of its aims may perhaps be
accomplished through legislation, but moi
many. Far more will come through tho moral
influences which large and earnest body oil
men invariably generates, and those influences
have unquestionably been accelerated in their
action upon the public mind by the conven-
tons population, on the threshold of its work.

THE LABOR PARTY At SYRACUSE.

1t would be folly TO deny that the men who
have met together in Syracuse to nominate
State ticket for the Labor party and W eject
a substantial ard active State organization
arc men of intelligence and sincerity. We
have never been convinced that the majority
Of those who are prominently engaged in this
movement, TO say nothing Of the army Of
voters who supported it at the polls in this
city last fall are in favor Of Henry Georges
fallacies Many, indeed, do not even pretend
chat his revolutionary theories are AT all an
essential element of the Labor partys pur-
poses, and the vast bulk Of his supporters
have doubtless never read his books. They
find in him an aggressive, brilliant leader,
whose abilities have given their organization
a strong push forward, and they do not care
a rap about his scarc-crow notions
The conventions action in pitching out the
Socialists is strong proof of this fact, and will
70 far 10 commend the party in the minds OF
conservative workingmen. George theoreti-
cally is az much Socialist as Schevitch, but
George practically is an American, and he
perfectly understands the temper OF the Amer
lean people. lie knows that the word Social
list is hateful to the ears Of the American pub
lie and that his party must reach the body of
the people u it wishes to accomplish any
practical results. lie did not hesitate to avOw
this as the reason of his opposition to the
Socialist delegates, though his supporters In
the main were unquestionably moved by prin
ciplo rather than mere policy. Considered as
the act Of party yet in its swaddling clothes
and in urgent need Of every vote that can
swell its Importance, the rejection of the
Socialists was a courageous and far-sghted
step. II shows that those who are controlling

cTpUrGLE AGAINST NATURE.

rbe Manitoba rail way war is fresh
svmptm of discomfort with confederation.
The people of that province are anxious TO
secure direct communication with the nearest
centre Of population, Minnesota. They have
a corporation known as the Red River valley
Railway and contracts have been signed Tor
the extension of the road 10 the boundary
between the United States and Canada. This
Is in the direction of the nearest market Tor
their own produce and their most convenient
purchasing base This line when completed
will bring them into direct commercial lcla-
tons with the United States and VIII give
them the assurance of brisk competition Win
the Canadian Pacific and lower freights. INC
Canadian Pacific Railway, aided by the Donn-
ion Government, whose political and hnanclai
fortunes are linked with that enterprise, Ia
vigorously contcsting the progress OF this
American outlet The Government has
vetoed the scheme and exerted itself to dis
credit it in the London money market us
prohibition is based ON the ground that the
Canadian Pacific was built at enormous eN-
pense for tho purpose of binding together
the scattered provinces of the Dominion, and
that the construction of the Red River Valley
line will be staggering blow to that great
enterprise. The Manitoba contractors arc
threatened with summary proceedings IL they
act in defiance of the Dominion Government
but they have determined to go ahead at ali
hazards, even if the workmen are dispersed
by military force
The people of Manitoba are warmly inter
ested in tho building of the railway to the
American line, and angrily resent the inter
ycntion of the Dominion Government They
contend that the Maritime Provinces have
their railway connections with Ncw-England,
and Ontario and Quebec theirs with Michigan.
New-York and Maine; and that Manitoba
cannot with reason and justice be denied
access to the Union State lying nearest to it.
They have long been disconnected with their
relations to the Ottawa Government and are
Indifferent to the permancncc Of the Confed-
Grafton. The Canadian Pacific system has not
rcconciled them to policy OF commercial
separatism, by which obstacles arc placed IN
the way Of the shortest outlets to their best
markets. If they are not allowed TO open
railway communications with Minnesota, their
resentment will be likely to find expression
in protests against the Confederation moro
emphatic than any which have yet been heard
from the Maritime Provinces. Such struggles
as this between the Dominion Government and
single province must tend to strengthen
annexation sentiment The bonds OF nature
are stronger than the artificial ties of an
anomalous political confederation. Manitoba
is drawn toward Minnesota and the Union by
commercial interests and democratic synipa-
thies already more potent than the bonds
uniting it with her sister provinces. The
Ottawa Government az Professor Goodwin
Smith has recently remarked, il AN attempt
10 create an anti-Contnental Dominion and
as such it is "a struggle against Nature In
which it is already manifest that Nature will
prevail"
